Desine de quoquam quicquam bene velle mereri
aut aliquem fieri posse putare pium .
omnia sunt ingrata , nihil fecisse benigne
prodest immo etiam taedet obestque magis ;
ut mihi , quem nemo gravius nec acerbius urget ,
quam modo qui me unum atque unicum amicum habuit .
aut aliquem fieri posse putare pium .

quam modo qui me unum atque unicum amicum habuit .
Stop wanting to expect anything good from anyone or stop thinking that anyone can become faithful . Everyone is ungrateful , it is useful to do nothing with kindness , in fact it tires and greatly hurts ; as it is to me , whom no one pressures more nor more bitterly , than he who holds me as his one and only friend .
Stop wanting to be kind to all and sundry ,
or believing someone can become good .
All are ungrateful : being generous achieves nothing ,
rather it wearies even , and greatly harms :
so with me , whom no one oppresses as heavily , bitterly ,
as he who once held me to be his one and only friend .
